Well the OP did mention that both the people behind his seat were seated and it seems that the FA was wrong and above all rude (which is the biggest problem here).
However, on an unrelated note, all these posts have me wondering what were they thinking when designing the BF seats, if the seat in front reclining can cause so much trouble for the person behind it. I've never traveled in BF before but will be doing so soon EWR-SFO.
